I don't get into Irish much, but i was talked into this one.
Nose - orchard fruits, wax, touch of oak, some saw dust, a bit of citrus spice, and perhaps a bit of a really earthy high fiber cracker note.
Taste - Fruit, more apple like notes, some caramel, a bit of sugar cookie, perhaps a bit of a grape fruit or pineapple, and then it transitions into a bit more of a bready malty note.
I wasn't a huge fan when I first opened this. I would guess I got this 2 months ago and it's opened up and become a lot more complex and less just citrus. There's still a youthful oak note here but I'm actually digging how it plays with the sweet malt and citrus elements. I'm going 2.5 stars. Darn good pour for about 60 bucks, not one I'll go back to often but if you like these fruity citrus lighter single malts, this should be a good reasonably priced offering.

@dhsilv2 Try the Teeling Small Batch. It’s decent, good ABV and you can score it for about $35.
@Soba45 I have not gotten into middleton but I've had the spot's all but red and the redbreast all but the 21. I somewhat like what they did with this one, it's a bit more scotch than irish to me and I like that.
Personally Teeling is not the best example of irish whiskey. Midleton range - Green, Yellow and Red spots and Redbreast range 12, 15, 21 are solid examples.
